The instructions cover the two article and letter assignments. You will address an issue related
to a specific legislative policy that affects healthcare in a written article that follows current APA
format that you would follow for a paper. Then, you will use your findings to compose a letter
that you could send to a legislator.
INSTRUCTIONS
The article must include the following:
 Description of the legislative policy with a negative or positive impact on healthcare or
public health
 Explanation of why the policy is harmful or helpful to healthcare and ultimately to the
delivery of quality patient care
 Impact of the policy from a cost perspective
 Recommendation(s) for policy revision or replacement
The article must be at least 400 words, cite at least 2 peer-reviewed journal articles for support,
integrate a biblical worldview, and follow current APA format. The article you write in modules
2 and 6 must address a different legislative policy.
In addition to the article, you will compose a letter for those concerned about the issue addressed
in the article to personalize and send to the appropriate legislator(s). The letter must outline the
issue and recommendation(s) for policy revision or replacement and seek the endorsement of the
legislator(s). The letter must be at least 150 words and follow current APA format contained after
